Southampton Divorce Solicitors

Going through a separation can be an upsetting, emotional, stressful time and is never a pleasant experience. Our Southampton divorce solicitors strive to make the legal side of the issue as straightforward as possible, meaning you have one less thing to worry about.

Getting a divorce is not as straightforward as some people think, and certain criteria must be met in order to apply for one. If you have been married for at least one year and both parties agree that a divorce is necessary, then you can apply for divorce proceedings to begin.

If you meet these two criteria you must then be able to prove that your marriage has come to and end for any of the following reasons;

 One of you has committed adultery and you are unable to stay together

 There is domestic violence in the relationship

 You have lived apart for two years and have decided to remain apart

 Desertion (your partner has left you for two years or more)

 Separation of at least five years

As well as dealing with the practicalities of getting a divorce in the legal sense, our Southampton divorce solicitors can also deal with the following issues which often arise as a result of the separation;

 We can help with financial settlements and determining property rights           

 Mediation

 Where children are involved we can help with contact and residence agreements and child maintenance issues

 Injunctions where there is a history of domestic violence

With approximately 40% of marriages expected to end in divorce, you are not alone at this time, and our Southampton solicitors have vast experience when it comes to family law. Whatever your situation our solicitors will handle your case with sympathy, understanding and of course confidentiality.
